THE DVI FRAUD CONTINUES
(says insider)
”What am I missing here, DVI announced that they want to
pay retainers to the existing employees on a "discretionary"
basis. Lets see - they laid off some 170 employees, many without
notice, just a letter in the mail, and cut off the emails without any notice, no severance pay
and no Medical benefits - lots of class.
If you are liquating a company, do you really need to pay retainers
to 170 people? No of course not,
that is why they stated "discretionary".
“The people (Rich Miller-President, Steve Jasiukiewicz-VP,
Peter Myhre-VP, Joe Melot-VP etc.) who made the decisions to lay off
the dedicated and hard working employees are the very people involved
in the fraud to the Lenders, Vendors , employees, the Industry and shareholders. Yet, they are still employed , still making
the decisions to hurt all the same parties just mentioned. The retainers are just another way to pay Rich
Millers inner core people as well as himself, on a discretionary basis
of course, to buy time to start up another company and continue their
life style.
”How can he get away with this? Well perhaps it is because the Management company that has taken
over control of DVI reports to
the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors historically has been
controlled by Mike O'Hanlon.”
Name Unknown
( Name With Held
)
(Dear Name With Held, all the leasing companies that filed
bankruptcy, the main principals went right back into equipment leasing
under another name. CMC is
still winding through bankruptcy, as the class action suit
is taking deposition,
and SDI, MCM, you name it, they are active, and so will the
DVI officers skate.
Very few go to jail or give up what they have hidden in trusts
or given to relatives.
That’s life in the big city, editor.)
DVI, Inc. last week announced
that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court granted the Company and
its two debtor subsidiaries interim approval for up to $148
million in
debtor-in-possession financing from Goldman Sachs Credit
Partners, L.P. and
Ableco Finance, LLC. The facility will refinance and replace
the exiting $20
million DIP facility from Ableco Finance and enable DVI to
fund a settlement
with Fleet National Bank and its co-lender under the $150
million Fourth
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated March 29, 2002.
Pursuant to that
agreement, DVI will pay approximately $100 million to and
release all claims
against Fleet and its co-lenders in exchange for a release
by Fleet and its
co-lenders of all claims against DVI, resulting in a benefit
to DVI of
approximately $50 million. In addition, the new financing
will enable DVI to
make investments of up to $20 million in its special purpose
vehicle
subsidiaries. It does
not settle other lawsuits, or claims against Deloitte,Haskins
& Sells
DVI Inc. also last week admitted it may have wrongly taken
between $2.5 million and $3.5 million for working capital purposes, even though the money should have
been remitted to DVI's limited liability companies. DVI further admitted
that it never paid some vendors for equipment the company purchased
then leased to medical centers. Thirteen noteholders, which hold about
$765 million of $1.65 billion of notes and which include companies like
Merrill Lynch and Nationwide Life Insurance, have joined to form an
unofficial noteholders committee that says it will further investigate
some of the recent issues that have surfaced with DVI. Since filing for bankruptcy,
DVI has won court approval to increase its post-petition funding by
740 percent to $148 million and to use a replacement debtor-in-possession
loan from Goldman Sachs Credit Partners. Ableco Finance LLC to help it pay off a $100 million loan from FleetBoston
Financial
Corp. A U.S. Bankruptcy Court has also given DVI permission
to sell its assets at an
Oct. 8 auction. Separately, DVI says that as a result of
its quarterly review of
reserves held against its loan portfolio, the company is
planning a substantial upward
adjustment in its reserves.
Leasing News predicted this company would revert to Chapter
7 and it looks
like that it where it is all headed.

Orix In Trouble---Appoints Balilock
by Christopher Menkin
Orix promotes Barry L. Balilock to "senior vice-president
and group manger, to over see credit administration as the once influential
finance/leasing industry flounders for business and good credits.
Blailock appears to be a "rush to judgment" appoint
as the announcement says, "
joined OFS in August
of 2001 as vice president/credit manager for the Construction &
Transportation Segment (CTS) of EFG. His extensive knowledge of the
industry and of credit underwriting standards and procedures has been
instrumental in the success of the Group."
Prior to joining OFS, Blailock held various credit management
positions with companies within the equipment financing industry including
The CIT Group, Concord Commercial Corporation and Commercial Credit
Equipment Corporation/McCullagh Leasing Inc.
ORIX Financial Services is an indirect wholly owned operating
subsidiary of ORIX Corporation, a leading diversified financial services
organization with assets in excess of $49 billion. To say the least,
the company has seen better days, but then, haven’t we all.

Pentech Financial Services Inc. Selects McCue Systems' LeasePak
As Its
Enterprise Lease Management System
BURLINGAME, CA, -- McCue Systems Inc. announces today that
Pentech
Financial Services, Inc. has selected LeasePak Bronze Edition
from McCue
Systems Inc. as its enterprise lease management system. Implementation
is
already underway (within 9 days of the selection decision)
with a projected
go-live date within Q4.
"I've been in this business long enough to know LeasePak's
reputation as the
most powerful and robust system around," states Benjamin
E. Millerbis, CLP,
Chairman & CEO of Pentech Financial Services, Inc. "But
when we went
shopping for a system," he adds, "what surprised
me was that McCue Systems
has made LeasePak truly affordable for a lessor. And, with
LeasePak Bronze
Edition, coupled with McCue's 30 years of experience working
with some of
the major industry players, we're getting a system and a
support team that
can easily scale this project as far as we want to take it."
"Ben Millerbis and his operations staff know their way
around this business
as much as any group we've ever dealt with and we are very
pleased to get
this vote of confidence from one of the senior statesmen
of our industry,"
states John McCue, CEO and founder of McCue Systems. "We
knew Pentech needed
a system that offered unlimited scalability, rich functionality,
and an
investment point that was manageable. So it is especially
gratifying to have
them recognize the superior value of our LeasePak Bronze
Edition."
McCue Systems VP of Client Services Mike Miller comments,
"It was clear that
Pentech Financial was looking for more than a vendor; they
sought a trusted
partner who could make the transition to the new system quick
and seamless
and support their future growth. We are proud to have been
selected and look
forward to supporting Pentech's continuing success."
Randy Haug on IDS/Software Market Today
Our friends at IDS have to now make good on their promises
and deliver. The marketplace will determine their fate just like it
does ours and everyone else's. Best of luck to them in doing so. If
their ox falls in the ditch...we will be happy to
demonstrate the value we offer to lessors with our integrated
solutions.
We have been focusing on how we can add value to our customers,
and new
prospects through our products and services. We have been
very busy doing
that. Our market is small to mid-sized growing lessors and
that is what we
focus on and that is what we are very good at. We offer what
we feel is the
best end to end solution for people in this market space
and our products
services and resources are aligned to deliver on that, and
the marketplace
has rewarded us over the years for doing that. So that's
what we do.
>From our perspective the marketplace is getting better.
We have been around
14 years now and have over 250 of the most successful equipment
lessors /
partners who use our products and services everyday. Today's
lessor knows
and respects us for the excellent products and services we
offer and for our
ability to deliver value over the long-term. The last 7 months for us and
our marketplace has been good and very encouraging. You have
to get out
there and work hard at it every day but there is lots of
interest from
lessors I'm talking to in both front-end solutions as well
as back-end
systems. There are a number of new companies entering the
market again and
to me that is a positive sign. Lessors are still somewhat
reluctant to spend
large amounts of money but they are beginning to realize
that the economy is
in fact getting better and are trying to align there system
strategies with
there business, and operations strategies so they will be
in a good position
to grow in a more profitable fashion through automation as
there business
volume picks up....and believe me it will.
Things are getting better out there for those of us that
focus on creating
value within our core competencies. That's not just for us
but for every
business. Don't try to do be everything for everyone, try
to be the best at
what you do the best.
One last word of advice for lessors out there...join or become
more involved in one of the many fine equipment finance organizations.
Those that are engaged actively will gain tremendously from it. You
get out of the associations what you put into them. Be active and participate
and you will without a doubt receive the benefits from doing so.
Things are getting better....believe me they are!

#### Press Release ######################################
Fitch Upgrades Bank of America Corp. To 'AA', Assigns Stable
Outlook
Fitch Ratings-Chicago-: Fitch Ratings has raised Bank of
America Corporation's (BAC) long-term senior debt rating to 'AA' from
'AA-.' Fitch has also raised its ratings on long-term deposits of BAC's
operating subsidiary, Bank of America N.A., (BANA), to 'AA+' from 'AA.'
Other long-term and short-term ratings of BANA remain unchanged. Fitch
has assigned a Stable Rating Outlook to all entities. Finally, Fitch
has withdrawn ratings of two inactive bank subsidiaries since all debt
issued by these subsidiaries has now matured. A complete list of ratings
follows at the end of this release.
Refinements made to BAC's business mix and operating strategies
have resulted in a lower overall risk profile. Over the last two years,
BAC has shed or reduced the scope of higher risk business units. These
include the 2001 exit from subprime mortgage lending and automobile
leasing, as well as the more recent reduction in the large corporate
loan book and in emerging market lending. At the same time, BAC has
focused on retaining profitable corporate loan relationships. Also,
management is growing its largest business line, the highly-profitable
Consumer and Commercial Bank. Specific strategies include denovo branch
expansion in large metropolitan areas, mostly within the current footprint,
and development of new products and infrastructure to serve rapidly
growing ethnic markets in the U.S. Management has also taken steps to
strengthen liquidity, control interest rate and market risk, and bolster
capital ratios.
Fitch believes that, due to its strong financial position,
risk reduction efforts, and success in its growth strategies, BAC will
achieve a higher level of performance with less volatility throughout
the business cycle. Solid operating results in recent quarters bear
evidence of this. Fitch's actions align BAC's corporate long-term senior
debt ratings with those of BANA and its banking subsidiaries, which
is the standard pattern for U.S. banks.
Fitch has reviewed the alleged involvement of BAC's business
units in mutual fund market timing and late trading. These activities
occurred in BAC's Asset Management group and are being investigated
by the Attorney General of the State of New York and by the U.S. Attorney.
While Fitch recognizes that these allegations, if proved, could result
in litigation and financial penalties, Fitch does not currently believe
that this problem is likely to have an effect on the overall creditworthiness
of the company. Revenues in the Asset Management Group represent a small
percentage of BAC's total revenues, and BAC has the resources to absorb
potential penalties, restitution and litigation costs. Most importantly,
BAC's executive management has stated that BAC will investigate the
situation, hold business line managers accountable, and take appropriate
corrective action.
